Why battle between Bills’ Josh Allen, Chiefs DC Steve Spagnuolo will decide marquee matchup
‘A primary reason Allen has been elite against the blitz is because he altered his play style. Instead of playing like a deep ball hunting scrambler, he has thrown the ball quicker and shorter than ever before. That has resulted in him starting 2024 on a seven-game streak without an interception, the longest streak without an interception by a Bills starting quarterback ever. Allen has only six turnovers in 10 games this season after having 14 in his first 10 games of 2023. It’s also worth noting Buffalo’s stability up front: they are only one of two teams to have the same offensive line starting five in every game of 2024, along with the San Francisco 49ers per CBS Sports Research, and they have the most offensive snaps played of any five-man offensive line combination. The lineup of left tackle Dion Dawkins, left guard David Edwards, center Connor McGovern, right guard O’Cyrus Torrence and right tackle Spencer Brown has 547 offensive snaps together.’

Because of this, Brady could be gone after one year as the Bills’ play-caller, as he could be in line for a head coaching gig next season. Connor Orr of Sports Illustrated named Brady as one of the top 25 head coaching candidates for 2025 and beyond.’
